Tyson and Garlett for Wines

Bad luck Port, you will have no bargaining 'power' when Ollie decides to come to the rising powerhouse that is the Melbourne Football Club.

    As much as I'd love to see Wines as a Demon we don't have the currency in terms of draft picks and I'm not parting with our current crop. We'll have to wait until free agency. 

    Gaff it is for now. 

    Glad we got that all settled.

    So with Wines and Gaff the team would look something like this, just take out Vince and Lewis

    B: Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta
    HB: Angus Brayshaw, Jake Lever, Christian Salem
    C : Ollie Wines , Jack Viney, Andrew Gaff
    HF: James Harmes, Jesse Hogan, Jake Melksham
    F: Tim Smith, Tom McDonald, Christian Petracca
    Foll: Max Gawn, Nathan Jones, Clayton Oliver
    I/C: Bayley Fritsch, Mitch Hannan, Alex Neal-Bullen, Charlie Spargo

    Emg: Jeff Garlett, Tom Bugg, Dom Tyson, Billy Stretch

     

    Maybe we can go the 4 peat

    I suspect there is more chance of Jack Watts & Jack Trengove both being at the MFC next year than there is of Ollie Wines coming to the club. 

    Nice to dream about, but there is no way to make it happen.

    How about a package including Wines and Toumpas?

    I'm only hearing how much he loves Port, and get laughed at whenever i suggest he should play for us. Not him, but someone who regularly catches up with him at Port ( although nobody can read his mind )

    Would love him in our side, but I'm not getting excited yet. 

    I have higher hopes for Gaff tbh.

    We dont just have to dream any more. Our list, coupled with our form means more and more players will be happy to consider us without getting massive paydays.

    Surely we have 4 or 5 'spare' players lying around that we could package up for a first round pick, and then put that with some rubbish late picks to get Wines?

    Am I doing this right?

    no, your not...   no one has said it would be a simple thing to do...  but if one doesn't even try, then one doesn't ever know.

     

    If Wines wanted out;,,, picks or players might aid the cause. 

     

    It would be tough to do, but things that are valuable are hard to come buy.

    If the Hawks can attract players of quality at seeming regularity;,, then we have to aim at being like them.

    ... acting like that, and going after Our Dreams.

    ... lets lose the negativity around chasing down our dreams.  If you can dream it, you can build it.

     

    We have to stop putting road blocks in our own way, before we even try.

     

    This is why we are not the ones housed in the Olympic swimming centre, for example.   This is why our membership is so transient. Only jumping up when we can make finals, in a given year.

     

    People have seen the club as being unreliable, and out of reach, and this is what we''ve created over the past 50+Yrs.

    Its time we changed the mental fabric around the whole club.   From the board. down to the sometimes supporter.

     

     

    I've never heard the words,,,  "we can't do that",  coming out of the Hawthorne footy club_

    So we should wait fore them, to call us...?

     

    I say, time for this old conservative girl Mfc, to get onto the front foot and chase down (head-hunt) if you prefer;  the players we dream of for the RednBlue.

    Dare I say it, but I don't think we need Wines.  We have enough tough, contested ball winning type players.

    I'd rather Gaff as he adds to our outside run and carry that would really make us an elite side.

    YOU CAN NEVER EVER EVER have enough inside mids PERIOD

    Sheeit Im stil having nightmares about drafting Jimmy Toumpas over Wines

    What a monumental [censored] up!!!

    Don't get me started on this one!

    players I would consider for trade...

    Garlett, Tyson, Frost, Kent, Wagner, Hunt, ANB, Stretch,   & possible future picks, etc.

     

    We have the means, if we want to do it. 

     

    It just takes 2 to tango, foxtrot, or boogie!

    IMO Kent, Frost and ANB should be held onto, on their day they’re all unstoppable

    I have it on very reliable authority he has decided to  re-sign with Port Adelaide. We got the decision wrong, move on. 

    Gee he would have been good for us .... shame

    Not this year, but soon, Oliver and Viney would walk into that Lions/eagles midfield. Gawn is better. Brayshaw 2018 has something. Just out of interest i reckon Judd/Cousins>>Voss/Black what do you think? I would have Oliver/Viney close to par with the Brisbane pair.

    Agree. Judd and Cousins quite easily for mine. Black not quite in the class of the other 3.

    Oliver/Viney have a long way to go to be in that sort of discussion.

    You win some you lose some, or in Carlton’s case you just lose. No point dwelling on the past. I judge players on their looks and Wines head is too square for my liking, never trust a blockhead my Gran used to say.

    Was it Neeld that overruled Viney to take Toumpas over Wines, or was it Viney who said we should take Toumpas over Wines?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
